The upward trajectory is also clear on short-form platforms. The ongoing ‘Catch Catch’ challenge on Douyin has surpassed a cumulative 900 million views and is on track to reach 1 billion views soon. Even as it approaches the two-month mark since the album release, it continues to climb steadily, and through this, Douyin followers have also increased by about 400,000, demonstrating its reach.
Consistent results continue on major domestic music charts as well. ‘Catch Catch’ entered No. 8 on the Melon Chart TOP100, making her the first solo artist in 2026 to enter the Top 10, and it topped real-time search queries.
